A new collection has just arrived at the shop ... Purple Palm Designs. Both of the designers in this trunk show are from South Florida. Suzanne offers a wide range of designs with quaint lighthouse ornaments being her specialty.Ellen is a watercolor artist who's paintings have transfered to needlepoint canvas in magnificent fashion.

The show will be with us until Oct. 21. We gladly accept mail orders - please call 888-255-7957 if we can answer questions.

We are back from the needlepoint show (it was awesome, and lots of new goodies will be arriving in the shop soon) and we have a new trunk show in the shop! From Needle Crossings we have a large trunk show with a variety of canvas's. The designs include cottages, lighthouses, shore birds, Christmas trees, lounging cats, beach scenes, and florals to name a few. I particularly love the relaxing shore scenes and the adorable lounging cats myself. The trunk show will only be here until the end of September and we are running a limited time sale while it is here; take 15% off all Needle Crossings canvas's in the store.

During the month of August, we are delighted to be hosting a Labours of Love needlepoint trunk show.The entire line of colorful, two sided birds and butterflies are here to choose from. You can stitch your favorite feathered or fluttering friend in a variety of fun fibers like Kreinik, Fancy Fur, Silk Lame or Splendor .( I have plans to bead one of the little guys on my to do list)Tail feathers and old fashioned clips are provided with each canvas.Mark and JP have included five wonderful models to inspire us all .Also, there are free stitch guides available for some pieces. We do mail orders also, if interested please call us toll free at (888)255-7957.

From now until Tuesday June 17th we are happy to have a huge Susan Roberts Trunkshow in the shop. There are over 300 canvases in this trunkshow of all shapes and sizes. Here's a gallery showing off a small selection of the designs.

We have a couple of great upcoming needlepoint trunk shows to announce. First we will have a trunk show from Susan Roberts Needlepoint from May 24th - June 14th. There will be a wide range of canvases including smaller projects, medium sized pieces that would make great pillows, and there will be a nice selection of beautiful Christmas stockings. Then in July we have a treat from Labours of Love Needlepoint. From them we will have a trunk show of magnificent clip on birds and butterflys. Many of the birds and butterflies have stitch guides available. For the birds you can either make these into a 3 dimensional bird or stitch each side individually and have a pair of flat birds, one for you to keep and one to give away to a special person.

We have lots of new items arriving in the shop recently. For knitters, Blue Heron owner, Demian, made a surprise visit with a carload of cash and carry yarn.Their hand dyed yarns are some of the lovliest in the industry We now have a large inventory of beautiful Rayon Metallic, Cotton Rayon Seed, Egyptian Mercerized Cotton, and Cotton Rayon Twist. We also had a large box arrive from Crystal Palace Yarns with a bunch of new colors of Mochi Plus, Mini Mochi, and Party ribbon for your knitting enjoyment. And finally we have received new colors of Zara and Tara Tweed from Tahki Yarns.We have just priced two big needle orders from Knitter's Pride and Hiya Hiya. We bought a few sets of Knitter's Pride "Dreamz" interchangeables.We also added to our growing inventory of the new high tech carbon fiber "Karbonz" needles.Of course due to popular demand we re ordered "Sharp Hiya Hiya's". Speaking of the "Karbonz" I've just used them on a cowl I was making.and I really loved knitting with them. They have very nice metal points so it's easy to see and get into small stitches. Also, the joints and the needles themselves are extremely smooth so stitches glide across them. The carbon fiber maintains a nice warm feel similar to a wooden needle.Cross Stitcher's should be happy to hear that the Nashville Show was a great success. We brought back dozens of new charts from all the favorite designers such as Lizzie Kate, Blackbird Designs, Chessie & Me, JBW, and many many more. Some of the designers released great limited edition kits only available at the show. We also added a lot of new accessories like beautiful scissors from Dovo and Premax.Hope everyone is enjoying our beautiful Spring weather. TheBirds are singing and azaleas are ready to pop open... Happy Spring Stitching !! Susan
